## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crawl-stock-data-lookup-6fe77100 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the current stock price and basic financial data for Apple (AAPL) — just send a query like 'AAPL current stock price and market cap' to the stock endpoint.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use stock or financial data lookups without committing to a subscription API. It is well-suited for agents that need occasional financial data on demand and pay via USDC through the x402 protocol. Prefer it over subscription-based financial APIs when query volume is low or sporadic.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient — payment required before data is returned
- Ambiguous or unsupported financial query returns empty or unhelpful data object
- Query for non-existent ticker or company may return null or empty data
- Network or scraping timeout results in failed response with success: false
- Rate limiting or upstream source unavailability causes temporary failures
